Abstract
Breath test is a prevalent detection method for gastrointestinal function, which is widely used on the diagnosis of carbohydrate malabsorption, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) and other gastrointestinal diseases. This study proposed a non- invasive method utilizing a virtual electronic nose to simultaneously detect hydrogen and methane concentration in breath which were corrected by the carbon dioxide to eliminate the effect on the alveolar gas. The detection range of the virtual electronic nose system was 1-200 ppm, and the resolution was 1 ppm, and the precision was less than 10%, and the single detection time was significantly shortened to 90s, as well as the size reduced to (40cm×30cm×15cm). Forty-seven cases of healthy people and patients were collected, and the types of concentration curve were judged accurately, and the SIBO diagnostic model was established. This method has the advantages of high specificity, non-invasive and simplicity of operation, so that can be used for the detection of increasing volume of clinical and domestic patients.
